Image description

An X-ray dated August 15, 2000 showing the 13-inch long, two-inch wide surgical retractor that was accidentally left in the body of Donald Church, 49, of Lynnwood, Washington, by a University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) surgeon during an operation to remove a tumor on June 6, 2000. The stainless steel retractor, resembling a metal ruler, somehow slipped from the hands of a distracted doctor during the procedure. When Church complained of unusual post-operative pain, other doctors discovered the retractor during a CAT scan and surgically removed the device soon after. The UWMC agreed to pay Church $97,000 after accepting responsibility for the mistake. REUTERS/Anthony P. Bolante APB/ME
